Theileria parva This intracellular parasite causes East Coast Fever in cattle Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Sar[553]; Alveolata[174]; Apicomplexa[80]; Aconoidasida[41]; Piroplasmida[16]; Theileriidae[6]; Theileria[5]; Theileria parva[1]

Theileria parva is an intracellular parasite transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus appendiculatus causing the East Coast Fever. This disease affects wild and domesticated ruminants and represents a major economic problem in many parts of Eastern, Southern, and Central Africa. T. parva preferentially infects lymphocytes. Inside More...the lymphocyte, this parasite triggers an uncontrolled cell proliferation that renders the infected lymphocytes metastatic and frequently leads to formation of ulcers with accompanying hemorrhage, edema and necrosis.
